From her record-breaking gymnastic talent to her effortless style, Simone Biles is straight-up goals across the board. So you can probably guess the first thing I did when I heard that she was teaming up with Athleta to bring us a capsule collection that shines brighter than a gold medal—laced up my sneakers, took out my card and ran to the website! If you want to get your hands on the *eight* new pieces worthy of an Olympic champ (including a belt bag that just might give lululemon's a run for its money), you'd better do the same. Because did I mention that everything in the Athleta x Simone Biles capsule collection

In other words, you can upgrade your entire workout wardrobe without breaking the bank. This collaboration was sparked by Biles's partnership with Athleta's Power of She Collective, "which aims to connect, celebrate and empower game-changing women," per the brand. So, if you want to know if the styles—like this sleek sateen bomberand smooth Transcend top —are worthy of a gold medal, the answer is heck yes. I mean, I wouldn't expect anything less from the GOAT. Ready to sweat in Simone-approved style? Shop the entire collection below!

You heard it from me first: This sateen bomber in Simone Navy is going to be a gym girlie favorite this fall, and it's not just because Biles makes it look *so* good. Buyers have already started sharing the 411 on the recycled nylon piece, with one writing, "[I] love the weight, fluffiness and material of this jacket. Very high-quality. I'm going to purchase another color. Great for layering." And, yes, it has zip pockets, so you can store your essentials when you're on the move. Meanwhile, the ribbed cuffs and collar should provide extra-close coverage on chilly fall days. So, yeah, it's perfect for throwing on after your workouts—or for any other occasion, really.

Whether you're hitting up a yoga class or the grocery store, these recycled polyester and Lycra leggings won't let you down, at least according to a ton of happy reviewers. In fact, more than 6,000 buyers have given these signature leggings a 5-star rating, so it's safe to say you'll love them in Biles's shiny new design. They're meant to have a buttery-soft feel and are designed to pull sweat away from the body, so you stay dry during tough workouts. They're also said to be as breathable and quick-drying as can be. Still, if you ask me, the unpinchable three-layer waistband and metallic-looking fabric are the main attractions here, ensuring that the leggings fit as good as they look.
